installed my mazdaspeed rear sway bar, axr clunk-fix kit, and autoexe front lower control arm brace..... i won't be posting after this, as i'll be out driving all weekend untill i have to go to work monday morning

 

^^ Very nice!!

 

I'd be interested in your evaluation of those mods.

 

The AXR Clunk Fix bracket is so nice. Rear suspension getting noisy? Just hook up your grease gun to each bushing and you're done! no more unbolting the brackets and pulling off the bushings to lube them. Plus, the position of the bushings (the way it fixes the clunk) really feels like it tightens everything up.

 

once again we all turn to the lube, yes!!! jk

 

My lube is olive green o_O

seriously it is though.. it's Lucas heavy duty waterproof lube :P

 

well, preliminarily, the sway, "klunk's", and front tie bar are impressive. i have to re-learn where my limits are with the car again.

 

any one out ther notice slow responece in the A/T. i give it gas in daily driving situation and first gear just bogs then it feels like it grabs and just goes. i have a cat back, engine compartment cold air and i have triple platnuim autolight plugs gap .044 any help out ther. i ask becouse i notice it more today than ever before.

 

quick question. not so much what i did, but what i noticed today. i do valet and had several stick shifts today. is the p5 clutch noticeably softer (the pedal itself) than most others? i even had an old honda and the clutch on that was stiffer than mine. is my clutch just needing replacing or is that how the p5 clutch is?

 

The clutch pedal does have a very light feel on the P5, no worries

 

ok. i was just concerned. especially the miata i drove was stiff. even after changing the clutch to an aftermarket will the pedal still feel the same?

 

all the autos i drive for valet all seem to take forever to get up. i had a mazda3 2.3L and it felt like I would pwn it, but maybe after it gets goin it really goes. i dont know. and then the old *** stick shifts get up and go. maybe a/ts get the power later?

 

Nik, how much looser is your rear axel in transient maneuvers, like a double lane change? How sensitive is it to throttle adjustments in sweepers? Think you'll end up putting that front sway on?

 

rear and at an angle

front setup


that and also I prepped the rear panels for their new speakers I'm getting from blaupunkt, tomorrow i'll do the front
